Chapter 151 I am a barbarian
A public opinion storm that affected Chu Xuan was ultimately avoided by him through "self-defamation".
No one doubted anymore that Chu Xuan was involved in the ambush.
After all, Chu Xuan's strength is undeniable; he has only just broken through to the Gang Jin realm. Moreover, Chu Xuan's background is clear, and with this additional reason, he has been completely exonerated.
However, for Chu Xuan, it was a mixed bag.
The advantage is that he is free from suspicion, but the disadvantage is that many people think Chu Xuan is too cowardly and does not deserve his ranking on the popularity list.
The news quickly reached the Hundred Beasts Garden, to which Chu Xuan simply smiled indifferently.
Zhang Cheng, the "head steward," was quite indignant on Chu Xuan's behalf. He not only punished several gossipy disciples of the Hundred Beasts Garden, but also argued with people outside several times, almost getting into a fight.
Three more days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xie Lei still hadn't returned, nor had he collected his monthly salary.
At this point, it can be basically confirmed that Xie Lei is dead!
"Senior Brother Chu, Senior Brother Zheng Zi'ang from Beast Garden No. 1 and Senior Brother Tong Yuanzheng from Beast Garden No. 3 request that you come to the main hall. They say they have important matters to discuss with you." That afternoon, Zhang Cheng came to find Chu Xuan and said.
Although Chu Xuan has now taken over the management of the entire Hundred Beasts Garden, Zheng Zi'ang and Tong Yuanzheng are too proud to bow down to him. They always ask someone to notify Chu Xuan to come and discuss anything.
"Okay, I understand."
Chu Xuan nodded.
Upon arriving at the main hall of the Beast Garden, they found that, apart from Zheng Ziang and his companion, all the other managers of the Beast Garden were present, chatting amongst themselves.
"Senior Brother Chu————"
Upon seeing Chu Xuan enter, several of the animal park managers greeted him.
Chu Xuan nodded in response.
When Tong Yuanzheng saw Chu Xuan enter, he immediately waved and said, "Junior Brother Chu, you've come at the right time! You must have heard about Xie Lei's matter. He hasn't returned since the auction that day. You should arrange for someone to go and look for him."
Chu Xuan stood there, just looking at him, without saying a word.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Tong Yuanzheng asked, frowning slightly.
Chu Xuan said indifferently, "Are you the manager of the Hundred Beasts Garden, or am I?"
Tong Yuanzheng's face stiffened, then he forced a smile and said, "Of course it's you, Junior Brother Chu!"
"So, who gave you the audacity to teach me how to do things?!" Chu Xuan's voice suddenly turned icy cold.
Since taking over the entire Beast Garden, he has hardly managed anything. Apart from arranging for all the exotic beasts to be sent to Beast Garden No. 9, everything else has remained the same.
He also showed sufficient respect to Zheng Ziang and Tong Yuanzheng, the two supervisors of Gang Jin.
But today, Tong Yuanzheng actually started playing tricks on him.
His words, seemingly casual and expressing concern for Xie Lei, were actually meant for the other animal park managers. He wanted to show them that even though Chu Xuan was the manager of the Hundred Beasts Park, he still had to bow down to the two of them.
Is it a test? Or is he taking advantage of him?
Chu Xuan had no intention of tolerating either of them!
If he continues to tolerate this, he will lose all authority in the Hundred Beasts Garden.
Tong Yuanzheng's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
He was about to say something in his defense when Chu Xuan ignored him, walked straight past him, and sat in the seat that Tong Hao used to sit in.
Chu Xuan's gaze swept over the crowd, and he said indifferently, "Speak! Who gathered everyone together? Why was I, the supervisor, completely unaware of this, and the last one to be notified?"
His gaze swept over Zheng Ziang, Tong Yuanzheng, as well as Supervisor Wang Xuan (number six) and Supervisor Gu Pengfei (number twelve), his face showing neither joy nor sorrow.
As for the others, he ignored them!
The reason is simple: almost everyone else is his man!
Zheng Ziang smiled faintly and remained silent.
Tong Yuanzheng snorted coldly, remained silent, and turned his head away.
Gu Pengfei dared not speak. Like Chu Xuan, he had only joined the sect this year and had only managed to get a supervisory position by luck. He had only just broken through to the Transformation Realm and had no real presence in the Hundred Beast Garden.
"Since no one's saying anything, it must be a coincidence! Let's disperse!"
After saying that, he prepared to leave.
"etc!"
Seeing Tong Yuanzheng giving him a meaningful look, Wang Xuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Junior Brother Chu, to be honest, it was I who gathered everyone together."
Chu Xuan looked at him and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure! It's me!" Wang Xuan nodded.
Chu Xuan nodded: "Very well, you're dismissed! Get out of the Beast Park before dark!"
"What?"
Wang Xuan's expression changed drastically. He stared at Chu Xuan in disbelief, then flew into a rage.
"Chu Xuan, you're just temporarily managing the Hundred Beast Garden for Senior Brother Tong Hao. What right do you have to dismiss me?!" Wang Xuan pointed at Chu Xuan, his face flushed red, feeling an unprecedented sense of humiliation.
Chu Xuan ignored him and directly ordered Zhang Cheng, "Throw him out!"
Immediately, Zhang Cheng, along with two newly appointed supervisors, pulled Wang Xuan outside.
"Get out of here!"
Wang Xuan roared, unleashing a powerful burst of energy that instantly sent Zhang Cheng and the others flying.
"court death!"
Chu Xuan gave a cold shout, and in the next instant, his figure had disappeared from his seat.
"Wait!"
Tong Hao's expression changed, and he subconsciously reached out to intercept Chu Xuan, but as soon as he made a move, his expression changed again.
His hand actually passed right through Chu Xuan's body, leaving only an afterimage!
Almost simultaneously, Chu Xuan arrived in front of Wang Xuan. Without any fancy moves, he directly struck Wang Xuan's chest with a palm!
Wang Xuan's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he quickly crossed his arms to block!
Click!
The sound of bones breaking rang out.
The next instant, Chu Xuan's palm landed on Wang Xuan's chest.
"puff----"
Wang Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew out of the main hall like a broken sack, flying dozens of meters before crashing heavily to the ground, rolling like a gourd.
"puff----"
Another mouthful of blood spurted out.
Wang Xuan stared at Chu Xuan in horror, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
He knew that Chu Xuan had broken through to the Gang Jin realm and was very strong! He had already known this during Chu Xuan's battle with Pei Xiu!
But he never expected that Chu Xuan would be so strong!
He was a half-step Gang Jin cultivator, no weaker than Pei Xiu, yet he still couldn't withstand a single move from Chu Xuan!
Inside the main hall, there was also a deathly silence.
Zheng Ziang could no longer remain calm. He looked at Chu Xuan with shock and deep fear in his eyes.
Tong Yuan was frozen in place, still in the same position where he had just made his interception.
The others remained silent, not daring to even breathe.
Chu Xuan turned his head, his gaze sweeping over Zheng Zi'ang and Tong Yuanzheng, and said indifferently, "Who else?"
quiet!
No one speaks.
At this moment, even Zheng Ziang and Tong Yuanzheng subconsciously looked away from Chu Xuan, who was displaying his sharp edge.
"That's all? That's good!"
Chu Xuan ordered Zhang Cheng, "Drag it away!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Cheng and the others immediately ran up again to drag the seriously injured Wang Xuan away.
"Let me go! I'm Supervisor Number Six, personally appointed by Senior Brother Tong Hao!"
Wang Xuan struggled and roared, "What right do you have to dismiss me?!"
Chu Xuan coldly replied, "Don't you like to stick your neck out? Since you've chosen to stand up for others, you must bear the consequences! This is what you deserve!"
"I am innocent!" Wang Xuan said, his face grim.
"I am a barbarian!"
Soon, Wang Xuan was dragged away.
When Zhang Cheng and the others returned, Chu Xuan had already gone back to his seat.
"Everyone's here, let's get down to business!" Chu Xuan said.
Tong Yuanzheng had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.
Zheng Zi'ang forced a smile and said, "Junior Brother Chu, it's like this. Xie Lei hasn't returned for several days, and we're worried something might have happened to him, so we'd like to ask you, Junior Brother Chu, to send someone to look for him."
Chu Xuan asked, "Did Xie Lei go on a sect mission?"
-
Zheng Zi'ang was speechless.
You're just asking a question you already know the answer to, aren't you?
"That's not it." He was annoyed, but his face remained impassive.
"Did he report to the sect?" Chu Xuan asked again.
"No!" Zheng Ziang shook his head.
Chu Xuan sneered, "First, you weren't carrying out a sect mission, and second, you didn't report to the sect! That means you left the sect without permission, so you deserve to die!"
Our job is to look after the exotic beasts in the Beast Garden, not to be wet nurses for some shady characters! You can go find them yourselves, as long as you don't interfere with the affairs of the Beast Garden, it's up to you.
But if anything goes wrong because of this, don't blame me for being ruthless as your junior brother!
After saying that, he strode away.
The others exchanged glances and then dispersed.
Soon, only Zheng Zi'ang and Tong Yuanzheng remained in the main hall.
Tong Yuanzheng's face was grim.
Although he did not have any real conflict with Chu Xuan, he did not stop Chu Xuan from dealing with Wang Xuan, nor did he speak up when Chu Xuan dismissed Wang Xuan!
This was undoubtedly equivalent to a resounding slap across his face.
After today, apart from a few people under his No. 3 Beast Garden, he probably won't be able to command anyone else in the entire Beast Garden!
Looking out from the main hall, Zheng Zi'ang sighed with emotion, "It's only been less than a year!"
I still remember when Chu Xuan first came to the Beast Garden, they were the ones who went for the interview along with Tong Hao. At that time, Chu Xuan was as insignificant as a little insect to them.
In less than a year, everything has changed dramatically!
"It's just a petty person getting their way!"
Tong Yuanzheng snorted coldly, then frowned and asked, "Tell me, did he kill Xie Lei?"
Zheng Ziang's expression immediately turned serious.
Others might not know, but he and Tong Yuanzheng did. Xie Lei had tried to take advantage of Chu Xuan at the auction and even invited them to participate, but they refused!
Then, Xie Lei disappeared, and his fate remains unknown, while Chu Xuan returned alive.
Their attitude today was partly a test of Chu Xuan, but they didn't expect that Chu Xuan, who is usually easy to talk to, would be so assertive today.
He doesn't seem guilty at all!
Zheng Ziang shook his head and said, "Whether it is or not, it doesn't matter anymore! Haven't you noticed? Since Chu Xuan came to the Hundred Beasts Garden, in less than a year, all thirteen of us managers have either died, disappeared, or left. Now only the three of us are left—no, it's just the two of us familiar faces!"
There was originally another Wang Xuan, but now Wang Xuan is finished too.
Tong Yuanzheng was stunned for a moment, then he gasped in shock.
That's really true!
The task of guarding the exotic beasts in the Beast Garden is relatively safe compared to other tasks, so the position of supervisor has remained relatively stable.
But everything changed after Chu Xuan arrived at the Hundred Beasts Garden.
In just a few months, ten out of thirteen supervisors died! Supervisors No. 8 and No. 13, who were related to Chu Xuan, died twice, and things only calmed down after Chu Xuan took over their positions!
"Damn it, this guy is a jinx!"
Tong Yuanzheng cursed under his breath and immediately walked out of the main hall.
Zheng Zi'ang asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to take on the inner sect assessment right now, and I'm never coming back to this godforsaken place!"
Tong Yuanzheng replied without turning his head.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be the one to die!
